This is PERFECT! Exactly what I was looking for to use up some canned sweet potatoes in syrup I had. I made it exactly as written except I subbed a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for the ginger and nutmeg (I still added cinnamon and cloves as well). I did not add raisins or nuts. I baked it in a 13 X 9 pan and I baked it about 40 minutes. The flavor is nicely spiced and it has a great moist yet fluffy texture. I have 3 more cans of yams so I'm going to make some more and freeze it for the holidays. Thanks for the great recipe!

Really, really good! I made these yesterday in an attempt to get veggies into my 2 year old, but they were such a hit with the whole family that I made another batch today. I used eggbeaters, switched in applesauce for half the oil, and used pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices listed (to save time). They were great warm, and even better & more flavorful cold the next morning. Thanks for the fantastic recipe- I'll be making these often!

Excellent muffin recipe! I especially liked sneaking in the sweet potatoes for my kids. I used whole wheat flour and applesauce in place of the oil. I also used only about 1/8 tsp of the cloves, nutmeg, and ginger since those are not my favorite spices. I cut the amount of sugar in half to 3/4 c and they were still plenty sweet. With all these healthier changes, the muffins were still moist, sweet, and delicious. My children ate them without knowing what they were, but laughed when I told them what they were made of. The taste is very similar to pumpkin muffins. I got about 24 muffins.

This recipe is PERFECT! I used up the leftover baked sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving. I made 24 standard size muffins. The muffin is sweet but not overbearing and really, really moist. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting!

Fabulous!! I loved this recipe! i was looking for something different to add to our thanksgiving and I found it. I made half of a recipe and got about 16 muffins (normal sized muffins) I also used 1/4 tsp of maple extract instead of vanilla. Everyone in my house went nuts for them. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Its simple and tastes great!

I did the loaf version and it was wonderful. Reminded me of spice cake. Has a nice texture. I used half sugar and half Splenda and cut baking time by about 5 minutes. I am going to add chopped walnuts next time.

My DD said they tasted like gingerbread! I used 1 C honey for the sugar and forgot to decrease the liquid, so they were VERY moist! I used 1/2 C canola and 1/2 C applesauce and w.w. pastry flour. I filled the muffins almost full bcz of the flour and they made 22 regular sized muffins. Very yummy. If my DD (who hates yams) will eat them, I'm excited!

These are wonderful muffins. I used only 1/2 cup of canola oil and added 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. I baked them in regular muffin tins, filling them 2/3+ full. I cooked them for 18 minutes and got 15 big muffins. I probably should have put the mashed sweet potatoes through the food processor rather than using the potato masher. But, the muffin I tried warm from the oven was still great even though I had a couple of sweet potato chunks in it. I think these would be great for either breafast or dessert.
